I guess just that the title "TRACK YOUR PROPERTY PORTFOLIO ONLINE." is a bit lackluster

try something like

"Handling your leased property is a headache? Not anymore!"

"Try now for free and in 5 minutes you'll get started"

See how we helped X property owners stop worrying and start saving money.

something like this...

oh, and get rid of the long domain, and get a .io or .ly short URL, and make it global, not just for Australia

AND, add a video

Explain to people how they save money and time

Another point is, are you really solving a problem? perhaps people with lot's of properties just pay someone to take care of it, and people with just one don't have enough headache?

sometimes it is what it is...

New York is going to be the second choice here, I think. The culture is certainly a little different in terms of VCs and the sorts of companies that take up residence there, but it's a great place to be.

After that, having spent a good length of time in Boston, I can say that there is a small but very healthy startup community there.
I'd guess that in your case, you'd be buying Japanese materials from Japanese publishers, and then having them shipped (possibly by the publisher themselves) to your country, and that these Japanese publishers don't normally sell their materials in your country.

That would not be a problem. To run into the situation at issue in this case, you'd have to be importing back to your country books that a publisher in your country sold in Japan.

The laws restricting imports are generally aimed at curbing grey market goods. When the good you are importing is one that has no "white market" equivalent in your country, you are probably OK.

While it appears from your link that the Netherlands may have something similar to first-sale doctrine, many European countries have the exact opposite, droit de suite, which allows for the original author (or their estate) to exercise control over any sale, not just the first.
How do you square this sort of mindset with the well-known demands of entrepreneurship? In other words, if it's possible to do great work in short amounts of time, why do most successful entrepreneurs end up working very long hours to make their companies succeed? If it's possible to check out at 5pm M-F and still excel, why do investors look for the highest possible levels of commitment from the founders in whom they invest?

Personally I think stories like this arise from the fallacy that jobs have a set amount of work. Entrepreneurs know that is not true--there is not some predetermined, set amount that an Apple laptop needs to better than an HP laptop. The truth is that any and all competitive advantage should be seized--it might be needed to survive.

Of course not everyone is a founder; most people are employees. But employees have an interest in their company's success too--it keeps them employed. In addition, high performance offers them opportunity for promotions, raises, advancement, publicity, etc.

I think that if you are a talented enough employee to get the "expected" work done in less than the expected time, the thing to do is to fill the remaining hours by doing work that beats expectations. Increase quality even more; put that gold leaf on since you have time. Or, spend that time thinking and inventing an unexpected addition or improvement--or even a new product.
Why would anyone want to forward work e-mail to a personal account when both are on Gmail? I would understand if the work e-mail messages were on a server that cannot be accessed from outside the office (although, if such a policy exists, you should ask yourself why and, probably, not auto-forward it) or something with a horrible and confusing interface or very limited space, but not here.

No, there is more than the technical advantage held by police which factors into this. There is also the extent to which the mass of people tend to believe whether it is better to do things in a law-abiding manner or whether legal authority is completely disrespectable and not worth obeying.

CharmingScript: Elegance Oriented Programming
Rushton (2012) asserted that the fact
that Black performance falls further behind
White performance on subtests and items
that have a higher g loading is an indication
of a genetic contribution to the Black/
White IQ gap. He believes that a genetic
hypothesis about the origin of the racial IQ
gap would predict this pattern of larger
differences for more heritable, heavily gloaded
items, and that environmental ones
would not. This belief is mistaken. The
construct of g would have no significance if
it were not a measure of cognitive complexity.
If a group is environmentally disadvantaged,
its performance in comparison
to nondisadvantaged groups will be greater
on more complex tasks than on less complex
ones. If you have not played basketball
for many years, your performance will
be closer to what it was previously for
layups than for fade-away jump shots.

Considering Apple is a global company, it wouldn't make sense to acquire the 4th largest carrier if all they get is some spectrum and nothing else.

If the rumours are true about Nokia wanting to sell off their HQ in Finland, it seems Nokia is a bit desperate for money.

This could mean at some point (in the interests of getting some cash in the bank) Nokia could sell off their mapping division (NAVTEQ etc) to Apple.
These things are a little more complex than they first appear..If you realize that performance has to be aggregated and reported up the food chain, then you'll understand why even a very competent manager cannot really afford to measure performance by the metrics he believes to be most accurate, just the ones that are easiest for his Boss to understand and send up the food chain.
Unfortunately, your job as a "mid-level manager" is not to get your unit functioning with the utmost efficiency. Rather your job is to make you own Boss look as good as possible, while making sure your unit/group continues to function at an acceptable level.

I like it. I splurged the $5 more for the backlit keyboard. The only thing with keyboards is how loud the keys are when they type. I find that it is pretty quiet.

Only thing I'm not used to is the left Ctrl key position. Ultimately I'm pleased with the choice, having been a long time dell laptop user and never having a thinkpad, I'd definitely buy again (as long as startup gets a little faster)
Your idea requires 20,000 people to keep their mouths shut. I'm skeptical.
Thanks for clarifying about their mapping sources. I assume they must do something similar in other countries.

As for why Apple would benefit, I'm afraid I don't agree. Sure, having a few dozen more employees with deep mapping experience would probably be great, but I'm not sure it's the real issue. Nor do I think it likely that the user-provided data would trump the quality of any of the major map players at this point.

If you look at the complaints that people are making, many of them down to public transit, poor proper name matching, and regional map quality. Of those, I doubt Waze will provide any meaningful improvement for Apple. To my knowledge, they don't touch public transit, because that's counter to their target. I seriously doubt they do well with proper name searches (do they even support it?) because their target is the commuter, not the guy looking for the nearest Chipotle. And for regional quality, I'd bet that they're weakest in the same areas that Apple is weak in.

I'm not sure why you think mapping data from Nokia or TomTom would be updated on a yearly schedule. The fact that non-connected GPS devices might be updated on that schedule doesn't mean that their databases are updated on that schedule, or that partners would be limited to updates on that schedule. Nokia and TomTom can, and almost certainly do, update their data constantly, just like Google Maps, and Waze, and undoubtedly Apple as well.

The root cause of the problem is the hassle in dealing with multiple email accounts. OP decided to consolidate by forwarding emails from multiple accounts int one. I found the WebMail Notifier add-on for Firefox invaluable when dealing with multiple email accounts. It let me keep the accounts separate yet able to see new emails in them and login to multiple accounts with ease. There's no need to consolidate, just managing them better.
Disregarding the problematic use of (1) "groups" solely defined as [race]; and (2) IQ as equivalent to [intelligence]; the <logical> extension of the analysis with the words <in origin> as used in the title is specious. [#,$,!]

________

[#] ie. Logically ok would be Group differences in IQ are best understood as an [having an environmental component].

=edit=

[$] Its logically possible (and most likely correct) that there are N dimensions to intelligence that are consistent in simultaneity (and while still excluding race). EG, including non-racial defined genetic group variation and environmental factors could both have measurable deterministic impacts on outcomes, of order of magnitude equivalent value. Its problematic to assert that the "origin" of [xyz] intelligence is an either/or hypothesis, when its most likely a complex composite. For obvious reasons.

[!] Environmental impacts, once established, cannot then simutaneouly be assumed as a neutral error variable (ie, with vanilla-stochasitic distribution). Certainly not without micro-analytic support. The latter is not evident / nor consistent with (1) or (2). Nor the use of basketball analogies.
Nowhere in the article does it suggest that you should do anything like let employees go home at lunchtime if they've finished their work - in fact, the author says that under this system, he usually gets home around 7PM. It's more that rewards like bonuses and salary increases should be tied to the results that matter, and not to overtime that could just as easily indicate an ineffective worker as dedication.

And while start-ups often require extreme hours due to the fact that building a successful business is hard, an established business should not demand extreme hours as part of normal business. If you do, you're risking employee burn-out, and probably not taking into account the costs that can lead to. If you need 60-80 hour work weeks to keep your business competitive, then you need to realize that your business is as close to the brink as any start-up, and is probably not sustainable in that state.

Custom t-shirt site I've been working on the past few months.
What is your suggestion?

sounds like they have a clear policy in place; most places it's a vague judgment call. But most places will kick any user that gets hit with a DoS attack that is large enough to disrupt service to other customers.

I mean, I agree that 'finishing the job' and letting the attacker win by null-routing the target is... a suboptimal way to deal with the problem, but with pipe-filling attacks? if the attacker can send more bytes than your pipe can handle, there is really no other realistic way to handle the problem. (I mean, you can try to trace down the source and call up the ISPs the packets are coming from, but BCP38 is still not widely implemented, so good luck tracing a spoofed source more than one or two hops up, and meanwhile, as you are calling people up and trying to get through to someone skillful enough to figure out where a spoofed packet is coming from, you are down.)

There are 'clean pipe' services, where someone with a very large pipe says they will programatically detect and block DoS traffic, then pass along the good traffic to your (much smaller) pipe, and yes, those services can work /if/ the service provider has a larger pipe than the attacker. Of course, buying such a service from a service provider with a sufficiently large pipe is, as you can imagine, quite expensive. Buying such a service from someone that has less available bandwidth than your attackers are able to throw at the problem, of course, is completely useless.

So yeah, uh, assuming you can't afford to be on a 'clean pipe' that is backed by a huge network, you are much better off with an ISP that proactively shuts down DoS targets than one that doesn't. Unless, of course, you are a DoS target.

I mean, the economics of pipe-filling denial of service attacks, right now, are heavily tilted in favour of the attacker. It is a problem that needs to be solved, but I don't know how to solve it.

PayPal's global presence, safe and sound fraud management makes Here a better product
A 512-bit hash provides roughly 256 bits of resistance against collision attacks. We (presumably) want to match that level of strength with our signature scheme.

RSA and DSA are based on the integer factorization and finite field discrete logarithm problems, respectively. The number field sieve has a complexity (very roughly) proportional to 2^(b^(1/3)), for b-bit keys. This means that keys have to be proportional to 2^(b^3) to achieve b-bit security. For a concrete example, 256-bit security requires ~16384 RSA/DSA keys (this is using a less rough approximation of the NFS complexity).

On the other hand, well-chosen elliptic curve groups have (or appear to) much less structure than the above. In generic groups, the best we can do to solve the discrete logarithm are generic attacks, like Rho or BSGS. Those run in time proportional to 2^(b/2). Therefore, we only need keys of size 2^(2b) to achieve b-bit security (512-bit keys for 256-bit security). Bit for bit, elliptic curves are much more efficient to deliver the same level of security. This results in other advantages, like tolerable speed.
Talk to the people who should be using this, find their #1 pain point with property management, put THAT front and center on the website. "This thing you already do... online!" is not a compelling sales point to non-geeks.

"View Features... we think you'll love them" is 180 degrees from user psychology which will work. a) Show them benefits b) absolutely anything is more credible than you saying it. Your customers, especially prominent customers or ones they aspirationally want to be like, are 100x more credible. Media is credible. The user is the most credible, so if you can figure a way for them to make the connection themselves (highly non-trivial) you win.

This product may require non-trivial sales off the website, btw.

I can definitely see why Wiley is concerned. I've seen some editions for Asia or India that are cheap crap--bad enough that I'd rather buy the US edition because I like to keep my books and the foreign crap will fall apart after a couple reads. Sure, many people would buy the cheap editions and put up with the crap, but a lot of people would avoid them.

The Wiley foreign editions are not like those. When my Wiley copies of Apostol's "Calculus" volumes I and II started falling apart after 30 years of being my goto books when I needed to refresh my memory of calculus, I bought the Indian paperback editions. The pages are a little smaller than the US hardback and a little lower quality, but the binding is well done, all the material is there, and they were about $30 each (with shipping) compared to $200/each for the hardbacks.

If the Wiley Indian editions were readily available in the US, there would be almost no reason to buy the US edition, at least for textbooks like Apostol, where there are no color diagrams.

It was interesting that the total price, books + shipping, was about the same no matter where they were bought from. I could have bought from an India seller for about $5, with $25 shipping, or from US importers for about $25, with $5 shipping. I think I did find a couple Indian and Chinese sellers where I could have saved maybe $5 overall, but no way was I giving my credit card to a seller on the other side of the world that I could find no reviews of anywhere online.

BTW, those hardbacks in 1977 cost about the same as the paperbacks 30 years later. In hindsight, it would have been a good investment in 1977 to buy a bunch of copies, and resell them 30 years later. (And yes, there would be a market for them 30 years later. These books, in the same edition I bought in 1977, are still used at Caltech, MIT, and in the "honors" calculus classes at a few other top schools).

YAFFS is a log-structured filesystem, just like F2FS. Log-structuring gives you a data organization protocol. This protocol gives you an implicit crash-recovery story, there is no need for additional journaling on top of it.

Journalling is used when some blocks on the disk are scheduled to be overwritten. Instead, the blocks are written in a separate location (the so-called journal). At a later point in time, the data blocks get overwritten. Once the data is safely on the disk (via Forced Unit Access (FUA) or a flush track cache-type operation) we can then truncate the journal.

Log-structured systems do not do this. Instead, the achieve crash safety via never overwriting data; they always write elsewhere (into something called 'the log'). Eventually, too much of this log is filled with garbage, stale data. This is when 'cleaning' occurs. However, cleaning is expensive and slow. You must read a large amount of data, figure out what is alive/dead, and then write it all out.

F2FS's contribution to FS design seems to be handling this cleaning operation in a more graceful manner.
Ask HN: is Javascript on the CLI/webserver D.O.A?
a) What happened to the idea of Javascript on the server?

I mean, Node.js has been a (relatively) big success, but it's mostly fit for specific kinds of applications (evented, live updating, etc, the kind of things you'd use Tornado or Twister for). So, while it's nice you can use Node.js for when the situation call for it, but what about the other 90% of web programming, that we perform in Python, Ruby, PHP, etc? Where is a Javascript container for generic web based programming, one to rival RoR or at least Sinatra/Flask (and NOT be evented / callback-based)?

b) What happened to the idea of Javascript on the command line, as a general purpose scripting language? It might not be a perfect language, but it's used by millions, it's probably the fastest dynamic language, with four very fast JITed implementations, and ES6 fixes a lot of pain points. IIRC, Common JS was an effort to use it for general purpose scripting. What happened to that?
Sexual orientation (and race, because someone's sure to make the analogy) has little effect on one's public life, it's just taking society a long time to realize that it's not relevant enough to make any sense as a pejorative. I don't think we're likely to regard intelligence that way, whichever words the euphemism treadmill brings.

Blacklists are run by anti-spam zealots who really don't care about what is fair or a smart idea.

For example my employer's mail server--which has been sending legitimate person-to-person emails for years (no bulk)--has ended up on blacklists several times because some blacklist operator decided to black-hole an entire netblock at our ISP.

From the blacklist operator's perspective, the broad effect of the block is intended to cause headaches for a ISP as a form of punishment for allowing outbound spam. Our deliverability (and many others) was just cannon fodder for that fight.

I understand that's where it originates, but it's still bad logic. The fact that the accused is guilty or is a total dirtbag doesn't preclude the victim from having been malicious or idiotic, and the victim's failings don't necessitate that we feel more sympathetic for the accused -- but rather that we feel less sympathetic for the victim. And that goes on the scale like anything else. There is a reason that self-defense is a defense to murder. The victim's actions matter.

The reason that "blaming the victim" is so offensive in the rape case, and why that is always brought out as the poster child for "don't blame the victim," is that in the rape case it implies that wearing a revealing outfit is enough to excuse rape. Which is so clearly, unquestionably wrong that it makes a very emotionally powerful case for the logically unsupportable position that the victim's actions never matter for anything.

But "don't [ever] blame the victim" is bad reasoning. To make it correct you would have to qualify it with something like "don't blame the victim when the victim isn't to blame" -- and that's just a tautology that doesn't help you determine when the victim is to blame. The fact that we know for sure that the victim isn't to blame in certain cases (e.g. rape) doesn't help for other cases where it isn't so clear.
Sexual orientation and skin colour are still used as insults even though sensible people agree that it's stupid to do so.
